THE ERIE SLA UG HTFR.

The horrible slaughter of Italian laborers
on the Erie road near IL hokus yesterday
will take good deal Of explanation. 1t Is
said that the noise of a train on one track
prevented the victims from hearing the APP
proach of the Chicago express on another line
of rails but how was it that no precautions
were taken to render just such an accident
impossible? According to all accounts the
place the men were working in was specially
dangerous. Sharp curves were on both sides
Of them, so that it was not possible to see
coming trains until they were close at hand.
As matter Of course there should have been
sharp lookout kept on both sides, but 1t
is plain that little attempt was made to Sc
cure the safety of the poor fellows. The
foreman should have been thoroughly in
formed as to the time when trains, especially
express trains, were due. In this case the
train was a few minutes behind time, which
makes the foremans neglect to put the men
on their guard all the moro inexcusable.
That this man, Connolly, failed miserably
in affording adequate protection to the men
under him is perfectly clear from the evil
dence so far obtained, and he is rightly held
responsible for the butchery of dozen help
less workmen. Unless further investigation
puts the matter in different light, it is the
duty of tho New-Jcrsey au horiics to prose-
cute him for manslaughter.
1t does not appear that the engineer OF the
Chicago express was in fault. He could not
see the men on the track round the curve,
and as there was no signal man to caution
him he simply did his duty in driving his
engine at the regulation speed. One account
says that he did not blow his whistle until
be was almost among the labo ers. That
nay be true and yet imply no negligence.
He coull not see the men until he was too
near them to do anything useful, and the
presumption is that he pulled the whistle
open tho moment he did see them, though
it was then too late to prevent the disaster.
Probably American worlimcn would have seen
TO it themselves that a good lookout for
coming trains was kept, but the Italians are
less thoughtful and self-rcliant, and seem to
have done nothing for their own protection
trusting TO their foreman, who was rs care
less as themselves. So wholesale butchcr
however, must not pass without a rigorous
investigation. Gross neglect there certainly
has been somewhere, and il is necessary that
tho responsibility should be fixed.

SANKEY'S numerous American friends. 1t Is
probable that some of the earlier incidents
Of the Congo journey have been exaggerated
in passing from mouth to mouth among the
natives, and have given rise to the rumors
of disaster and dea h. One of the explorers
steamers was disabled at Stanley Pool, and
he has exrerienccd great difficulty in main-
tanning discipline in his expeditionary forco
while obtaining supplies from the natives.
This accident to the steamer and his conflict
with his own men may have furnished tho
groundwork for the fictions of the garrulous
up-country natives. Certainly, unless the
evil tidings are speedily confirmed by agents
of tho International Association, the rumors
can be dismissed as idle tales. In August or
September the good news that the explorer
has rescued Emin Bey may confidently be
aynectad

UTILIZING NIAGARA.

scheme, for some reason which was never dis-

ever that the company hopelessly Impoverished
itself in the effort to pay for wheel wmcn

The attempt which is now making to compel
Niagara to pay its way would seem to be UNDER

fair prospect of ultimate success The Business

well calculated to inspire some brilliant Drained
inventor to solve the imposing problem. 1t Is
needless to point out that following close on the
heels of the solution Buffalo will become the
